NECKTlE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 550,274, dated November 26, 1895.

Application filed January 25, 1895. Serial No. 536,284. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ELEAZER JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hamilton, in the county of Madison and State of New York, have invented a new Necktie- Holder for holding the necktie from slipping up at the back or getting out of place after it has been properly adjusted; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, with letters referring to different parts throughout the drawlugs.

Figure 1 shows the tie-holder at an angle. Fig. 2 shows it attached to the collar. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the collar and necktie with my invention in place.

The necktie-holder is made of small German-silver wire, (this being preferable, as it will not tarnish or rust, but it can be made of an ordinary small wire;) and it consists of a U-shaped bend, the upper ends of the wire being bent toward the interior of the bend atB B, then downward so as to be parallel with the legs of the U-shaped bend, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, then into semicircular bends at O O in planes perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped bend, and finally into a second and inverted U-shaped bend in a plane parallel with the plane of the first bend.

The necktie-holder is attached to the collar by putting the part represented by letter A through the buttonhole from the outer side of the collar, as shown in Fig. 2.

In Fig. 1 it will be seen that A and B are parallel with each other from G to E. These two parts A and B press firmly together at E. Thus after part A has been put through the buttonhole the two parts A and B will grip firmly upon the collar and hold the tie-holder in place. 0 0 must be forced into the corners of the buttonhole, so as to allow any ordinary collar-button to be used to hold the collar on the shirt. Now after the tie-holder has been put on the collar, as shown in Fig. 2, and the collar is put on the shirt, the necktie is then put under part D and forced up and over the top of the collar-button until it comes in contact with parts B B at the top, as shown in Fig. 3, thus leaving the part from B B to D Visible, and to hold the tie into place to be as I have before stated.

Now what I claim as my invention is- A wire necktie holder, consisting of a U- shaped bend, the wires at the ends of the bend being bent toward the interior of the bend, then parallel with the legs of the bend, then into semi-circular bends in planes perpendicular to the planes of the U-shaped bend, and finally into a second and inverted U- shaped bend in aplane parallel with the plane of the first bend.

ELEAZER' JOHNSON.
